[QUOTE="chscag, post: 1029907, member: 46727"] The more you mess with that drive, the more likely it will fail completely. You need to get the data off there without incurring any further damage. What I suggest is remove the drive, place it in a USB or firewire external carrier or use an adapter and extract the data that way. Of course that means you'll need a new hard drive for your machine first - or, use another working machine. You might also be to use target mode (FW to FW from another Mac) to extract the data but that requires another Mac with FW. Regards. [/QUOTE]
